The official medical update from INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Michael Olinger is that Hinchcliffe has been cleared to resume racing after being re-evaluated today & passing ImPACT test.

Here’s a statement from Hinchcliffe released by the team:

“It goes without saying, I’m thrilled to be back in the United Fiber & Data car. It’s been a long couple of days watching everyone practice, but obviously getting healthy was the number one goal. I really want to thank everyone at INDYCAR Safety, INDYCAR Medical and IU Health for their great care. Also, to Jim Leo with PitFit Training for helping with the rehabilitation, and of course a big thanks to E.J. (Viso) and the team for all the hard work during practice. The car looks fast and I can’t wait to get out there and get up to speed.”

And here was Hinch’s tweet of thanks:

Vacation over, back to work! So happy to be cleared to drive. Big thanks to @EJVISO for getting things sorted on the @ufd_racing buggy.

I didn’t like having Viso in the field for the first few years, too many crashes often taking out other cars, but last year with Andretti he became fast, consistent, and much less crash happy. Huge turn-around and I would be happy to see him back in the field on a more regular basis. He did a great job filling in for Hinch.
